Answers:

  • first box =  0.84x
  • second box = 84

=================================================

Explanation:

Think of x - 0.2x as 1x-0.2x. The numbers out front, the 1 and -0.2, combine to 0.8

The 0.8 converts to 80%, meaning that if there's a 20% off sale, then you still have to pay the remaining 80% of the original price.

The 1.05 indicates that we started with 100%, and then add on 5% sales tax, so 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05

---------------

Simplifying the expression given to us leads to

1.05(x - 0.2x)

1.05(1x - 0.2x)

1.05(0.8x)

(1.05*0.8)x

0.84x

This shows that the final price, after tax, is 84% of the original price.

Answer:

0.84 and 84

Step-by-step explanation:

What do you do to both sides to<br> r? What is r? 3/8 r = 6 HELP ME
faust18 [17]

Answer:

r = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{8}r = 6 \\\\

Multiply both sides by 8

8*\frac{3}{8}r = 6*8\\\\3r = 48\\

Divide both side by 3

\frac{3}{3}r=\frac{48}{3}\\\\r = 16

OR

Multiply both side by (8/3)

\frac{8}{3}*\frac{3}{8}r=6*\frac{8}{3}\\\\r = 2*8\\\\r = 16

write an equation to represent the information in this problem. Jerel runs five days each week. on each of 4 days, he runs 2.3 km. if jerel runs a total of 14km, how many kilometers does he run on the fifth day?

Let x be the distance run on the fifth day

Total distance run on all the four days = 2.3 * 4 = 9.2 km

Required equation : x + 9.2 = 14

x = 14 - 9.2

x = 4.8 km

The graph of the function f(x) = (x − 3)(x + 1) is shown.
AVprozaik [17]

The expression that describes all of the values for which the graph is positive and decreasing is all real values of x where x < -1

<h3>Which describes all of the values for which the graph is positive and decreasing?</h3>

The equation of the function is given as:

f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 1)

When the value of the graph is positive, we have:

f(x) > 0

So, the function becomes

(x - 3)(x + 1) > 0

Split the above inequality

x - 3 > 0 and x + 1 > 0

Solve for x in the inequalities

x > 3 and x > -1

Hence, the expression that describes all of the values for which the graph is positive and decreasing is all real values of x where x < -1
